Neoeubria inbionis Shepard & Barr, a new genus and new species of Neotropical water penny beetle (Coleoptera: Psephenidae: Eubriinae), with a key to the adult Eubriinae of the Neotropic Zone

Abstract

Neoeubria inbionis, new genus and new species, is described from Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama and Ecuador. All life stages are descibed and illustrated, and a key to adults of the Eubriinae genera of the Neotropics is provided. Neoeubria is one of the most basal genera of the Eubriinae.

A revision of the Chilean water penny genus Tychepsephus Waterhouse, 1876 (Coleoptera, Psephenidae, Eubriinae), with description of a second species and two larval morphotypes, and notes on other Chilean Psephenidae

“…The Psephenidae of South America are poorly known and problematic. The monospecific eubriine genus Neoeubria occurs in Colombia (W. D. Shepard, unpublished data), Ecuador, and Costa Rica ( Shepard and Barr 2014 ), yet very few adult specimens exist. The more speciose psephenine genera Pheneps Darlington, 1936, Psephenops Grouvelle, 1898, and Psephenus Haldeman, 1853, all have species described from South America.…”

“…See Lee et al (2016) for an overview of the subfamily. See Shepard and Barr (2014) and Barr and Shepard (2017) for habitat descriptions of two neotropical species in the genera Neoeubria and Eubria , respectively.…”
